My throat throbbed and ached, a result of the unrestrained screams that had torn from it. Exhausted, I found myself devoid of tears, my eyes dry and vacant. The ability to even utter a sound had abandoned me, leaving me in a haunting silence. Shock's electric current surged through my body, rooting me in place as the scene before me unfolded in horrifying clarity.
The surreal nature of what I was witnessing simply couldn't be real, my mind protested.
Especially not now, not after the arduous journey we had endured. The distance we had come felt too immense, too laden with struggle, for it all to culminate like this.
My palms met the cool blades of grass, the pain in my knees almost seconda

REBECCAUpon reaching the basement's threshold, a tableau greeted me. Two figures, sentinel-like, stood sentinel before the door. Their eyes widened at my arrival, a shared impulse urging them a step closer."Miss Rebecca, this isn't your place," one of them interjected, caution woven through his voice.Yet my gaze brushed past them, riveted on the closed door that lay beyond. "I need to see him," I declared with a conviction that resonated through the heavy air."The boss gave strict orders—no one's to enter," the other guard responded, his gaze carrying a mix of skepticism and puzzlement.Within this enclave, the atmospher

REBECCAThe truth of my deeds weighed heavily upon me, a burden I could no longer deny. The agony of Raffaele's suffering, the starkness of my own actions, engulfed me in a tempest of emotions that seemed unending."I understand. Your courage within those walls was truly remarkable, almost ethereal, like a vengeful angel," he whispered. "My admiration and pride for you know no bounds."A sense of dizziness washed over me, causing me to lean into Artemy for support as my energy waned."I never wished for you to witness his state like this. I comprehend your desire to bring him to his end, Angel. Yet, the aftermath of such an act is something you might find difficult to bear," Artemy spoke, his voic

REBECCALeaning against him, my head found its place upon his shoulder, and I surrendered to his encompassing hold.

REBECCAMy shoulders slumped under the weight of his words, and I exhaled sharply, feeling his warmth withdraw as he pulled away. Against the door, I remained rooted, my eyes fixed on him, absorbing his presence."You both are meant for each other," he continued, his voice a soothing balm in the tumult of emotions. "I'm genuinely elated that Artemy discovered you—"He paused, his eyes gleaming mischievously, a spark of playfulness igniting within them. "Or perhaps it was you who stumbled upon him."A playful wink, a fleeting moment, and memories resurfaced, memories of the time I first crossed paths with Artemy. He was right.

ARTEMYHad she caused more harm, I would have been there, supporting her. I would have held her hands as she inflicted her cuts.But this wasn't her burden to bear.I understood Rebecca. Pulling the trigger had demanded every ounce of her strength and hatred. Yet, the act of killing, that wasn't the essence of my angel."Allow me to be your monster. Permit me to kill on your behalf, my angel."No words had rung truer than those. Each word was a vow. I was hers. I would take life for her. It was a promise, one I had fulfilled before, was carrying out now, and would continue to fulfill in the future.

The unexpected sight before me was a testament to the depth of these connections.Aunt Bernadette, the role seemed incongruous at first glance.

Swiftly, I elevated myself into a sitting position, my eyes grappling with the persistent morning radiance as I blinked away the remnants of sleep.Emerging from the covers, I navigated my way toward the crib stationed nearby, only to discover it vacant, devoid of the presence I anticipated. My recollection painted a picture of Artemy embarking on his early morning ritual to tend to Cevia. Had they not returned to the comfort of our shared sanctuary?While enveloping myself in a robe, I embarked on a trajectory towards the bathroom, swiftly tending to the ritual of dental hygiene and facial invigoration.
